NEW IGUANA ORIGINAL ON ITS WAY TO JAPAN

A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of sending a new Iguana Original to this magnificent country that is Japan. More precisely the island of Okinawa is a unique region in Japan with a fabulous and perfectly adapted environment to the force of the amphibious boat.

Here are some pictures of the preparation of the Iguana Original.

THE IMPORTANT STEP FOR AN AMPHIBIOUS BOAT, THE FIRST SEA TRIAL

Why is a sea trial important for the start of an Iguana’s life? It is imperative to be able to validate and control the Iguana in all its facets and aspects, whether on the beach or in the sea. In addition, this allows us to test different speeds and its 360-degree mobility. 

Testing the boat at sea is also important. There are several checks such as progressive speed to obtain the maximum number of knots or even turns. All of these are routine tests that we carry out on a regular basis.

After this stage, there is all the preparation for departure with the cleaning of the boat as well as the start of packing the Iguana. It takes half a day to make it perfect for the customer.

TRANSPORTING AN IGUANA FROM THE SHIPYARD

When the preparation has come, the production team packs the boat to protect it during the journey. This boat will be received by our sales representatives upon arrival. When the truck arrives, the boat, perfectly wrapped, is lifted and placed on top then tied all around to be sure the Iguana won’t move. 

Each boat follows a strict method that we put in place to ensure everyone’s safety as well as to achieve customer satisfaction. We do everything in our capacity to ensure smooth delivery.
